Olmert and Kadima hijacked the elections and the national law was cynically subverted.

In his last interview in January, the tank predicted Iran would have a bomb in one year. There are nine months left to his prediction. Hopefully, the highest tribute we can pay to a man who dedicated himself to the defense of Israel is to make sure long before the nine months are up that we act with the courage and conviction that were the hallmarks of Arik's career. May history be kind to our hero. And may his life inspire us to the greatest exertions.

No doubt much will be written about him. My own sentiments are: 'Ish Boneh - Ish Horess' - Man Builds, Man Destroys. No doubt he contributed much to the country over the years no one can deny that. But it wasnt all good. And the scales measuring the actions of his life has not passed its final ruling. Perhaps only heaven is qualified for that. He built much as he destroyed much. He goes out leaving the legacy of Gush Katif an action of destruction and capitulation. A precedent that will no doubt exact a very costly price on our nation and country. The future no doubt will verify that. I for one Lo Shocheach V'Lo Soleach. His final action may have undermined whatever acheivements he may have accomplished in his lifes work. History will no doubt be the judge of that.

To the bravest of the brave. King - farewell.

Sharon did not start the intifada, Palestinians are solely to blame it was planned before Sharon took office.

You didn't claim your victory over your existential enemy. Instead you let your enemy remain in your midst, proliferate, aid them and let their numbers grow from external sources. While they commit pogroms against you not only in their homicidal Hamite homeland but in other lands they forcibly converted to the faith in Hamite values. It is not a matter of completing an equation. You had a victory to claim but by not doing so you allowed the war of nations turn into allowing your population to suffer the acts of terror. There is no moral equivalence in what they do to the non-belligerent population of your people in the lands they control and if you would finally claim your victory on your reclaimed land, act like a humane sovereign for them and your own, and enforce your enemy’s, terror institutionalized population’s right of return to their homicidal Hamite, ancestral, peninsular homeland in the historically accepted manner as has been demonstrated but denied to Jews who have no self-respect. You are so enlightened and progressive, with less than 25% of the vote you megalomatically claim a mandate to commit pogroms without regard to age, sex or condition, and without bloodying the traditional pogromnik goy hand. To tirelessly engage the most force since ’73 to bash the brains in and break the limbs of the best of you who love the land that protects all of you. To not compensate them or respect them for their loss of there occupation, immeasurable toil and suffering in any justifiable manner can only be called collective punishment, political persecution and you top it off by forcing them to continue to service their loans and insurance obligations. You will tirelessly seek victories over those who love the land sewn with the blood of those who reclaimed it, protected it and lived on it. You committed these crimes without an elected party ordering the pogroms if not pigua (as the vacated land is now a terror launching ground). You did this while ignoring the elected party’s charter and referendum you swore to abide by. You consolidated your dictatorial powers under the guise of democracy and etrog status in the eyes of your appointed law enforcer by breaking coalition agreements and employing something called United Torah Judaism in name alone to allow the government survive long enough to push through the pogroms and destroy over fifty Torah centers of learning. And the sick brain and unbound heart of the arelim makes the putsch official claiming to be the PM without the leadership position of the elected party and party authorized to form the government. Who elected the list of the putsch party? As if you or crazy uncle Simon Perske were? The last time I heard you were elected thirty-third to the party list of the elected party. Then there was the arelim putsch and low and behold you are slinking in the shadow of a dictator as his number two without a mandate. With victories over your best, changing circumstances for the worse by making yourself more vulnerable, I can see why you would be tired since you hate the land and its people. A land and a people you and your family have never served in uniform to defend but vigorously, perfidiously destroy.

Ariel Sharon is a great man. He went out against all odds to try and achieve peace by pulling out of the settlements. Unfortunately the palestinians will only be happy when all of Israel is theirs. There is absolutely no chance of that happening. The choice is yours, telk peace to achieve peace or continue with this bloody battle of which noone will be the victor and the palestinians will definately come out the loosers. To Ariel, you have been a fantastic leader. A man to look up to. Knowing you were running the country always inspired hope and the belief that we were in good hands. We hope and pray for your recovery.

We thank him for our survival and strength. While the muHAMedans rejoice in ALL death, we rejoice in the hope Sharon gave us in one day achieving peace through prosperity, loyalty, humanity and strength

Legacy ..will of course crumble to dust .. perhaps much sooner than many would think.

Hoping the rest of Israel leadership will be over soon. Just for all of you that UNJUST will cease to exist as SHARON. MAY GOD SEND HIS WRATH AND ANGER AT ALL JEWS FOR THEIR UNJUST AND ABUSE, AMEEN?

http://arutzsheva.com/news.php3?id=101892 FIRE HER! Saul was a heroic Israeli hero in his past, then he tried to kill David and killed over 50 Kohanim, thats what Sharon and his buds are, they may have been productive in helping Israel but they have turned into Saul killing the people they once helped.

and Olmert is no Sharon, he didnt fight a war for us, he is a tool. While Sharon evicted the Gush, and while by no means was that productive, he handled it 100% better than his cronie Olmert which allowed the bashing of Jews and the citizens. Sharon was corrupt, his son was corrupt. By being a war hero, it doesnt give him immunity to criticism and corruption.

It was the Maronite Christians, moron.

Good, bad or indifferent, at least we have a leadership. All you have are Islamofacist thugs. As to G-d, it is on you and your selfish, greedy, vicious, hate-filled brothers that His wrath will fall.

to the man who started the intifada, to the first PM who split israel which is still being split. To the man who brought Hamas into power. How many people died because of him (since 2000) how many people will die because of him. The only thing that is sad about his going is that he took and still takes many people with him because of his mistakes. I don't know why everyone dies for him. If it wasn't for him we would still be living in peace with the Palestinians

If it wasn't for him, you would be dhimmi under the Palestinians. Or dead.

FACTS 1)Ariel Sharon did OT start eh |2nd| Intifada, The ARABs and Arafat did 2) Arafat planned the "intifada" as soon as the conclusion of the Land ofr Piece deal with BARAK (that he rejected) 2a) The Arabs already had rocks etc.. up on OUR temple mount the day Ariel Sharon visited 3)Hmm Let me think..seems to me there was never a cessation of terrorism between |INTIFADAS..so there has always been terrorism..just less.

Welcome to ynetnews.com It is an ENGLISH-language version of the Israeli newspaper Yediot Akhronot. If you cannot speak the English language, please don't post on this website. Also, why would you read an Israeli newspaper if you disagree with its political views?!

sharon, the great jewish warrior. he will always be in my heart.

Who also said he wants to teach us Jews all about Judaism ... (which he couldn't spell) who also thinks we holocaust survivors should be thanking the Red Army for our Liberation Who is a typical Scottish Storm Trooper Jew Hater If you want anyone to take you really serious - you need to stop proclaiming Marxist ideas that equal ISM movement.

This should have happened last Jan.! I too will always remember sharon the warrior turned into sharon the destroyer.

You must be a Muslim, and you spelled Amen wrong!!
